Original unopened vending box of 1978 Topps baseball containing approximately 500 cards from this popular set. The 1978 Topps set includes many Hall of Famers such as Brett, Yount, Ryan, and the rookie cards of Eddie Murray and Paul Molitor. All the other stars of the day are also included. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, it is very possible that these boxes include MINT or GEM MINT examples of these cards and others! This box comes shrink-wrapped by The Baseball Card Kid, Mark Murphy, who was the preeminent dealer of unopened material in the 1990s and likely (though we have no way of knowing for sure) broke down a vending case at one time from which this box originated. The box displays beautifully, appearing almost exactly as it would have forty years ago. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
